No it is not. It is showing the textures bungie made. People learn NOTHING from this.

You also posted pictures of it ingame, asking for criticism on how it looked.




And that gives you the right to flame him? I didn't see any step by step guides by you either. What I did see was showboating pictures of ripped recon armor and lots of spam.


Besides, he released these for people to use. I don't believe he claimed they were a tutorial. However, you can learn a lot about how to create a texture by looking at one.

Are you "people"? no, you are a person. Dont speak for others if you dont know what they want.

Posting renders for crit. And I didnt post a step by step because ripped assets arent very supported on these forums.

criticize wat? your ripping skills?

You missed the point. -20 points from griffindor

And yet you posted pictures anyways. And how is someone supposed to criticize a ripped model? You didn't want criticism you wanted attention, and now you want to make advancebo feel bad for screencapping, though your methods are no more honorable.

If you would have noticed, it's the WORK IN PROGRESS thread. And if you're "posting renders for crit" then why have I never seen you use your ACTUAL work, the one that the RENDER is for?

Crit the renders. Stop failing.

Then what can someone possible benefit from these screen captures textures that is more worth while then learning to take textures your self.

back in topic:
so how do u guys (excluding Deehunter) like the textures i created for the community?
anything i need to fix or add?

If people cant texture then they should learn. If they dont want to learn then they shouldn't use other people's textures.

oh, so that means no one can use the supplied textures that came in the HEK?

And this brings me back to my original thing: Unless you are teaching them how or have made a tutorial don't crit them for screencapping even if it is a bad method.

Gearbox didnt put those textures there for people to learn how to texture. They put them there so users can LEARN from the tutorial about how to make a map.

ftfy

*keep ignoring me. I'm still going to post*

Well then GBX left us with a heck of a lot of textures to learn how to make maps with following the tutorials only.

but ur saying is that, if people that dont want to learn, shouldnt use other's textures. and since most people dont want to learn, they use other peoples textures. such as Gearboxes.

is this how low the community has become
how desperate we have become
Like if you have people to teach you stuff
that is good and it will inprove your speed of development (meaning that you learn how to do stuff faster)

But you can learn how to do all these stuff ur self
and there are many tutorials out there
we dont need to learn them how to do stuff
or hold their hand while they do it
of course when beginners get in trouble we help them out with advice
but think about it
in the begin there where no tutorials (not as much as now atleast) and everybody had to learn how to do stuff themselves
And a lot of them turned out great by not ripping

so whats the differents between then and now

then people modeled for the fun and got respect for making their own stuff
nowday's people want attention and by so rip things or screen grap things in order to get it
well them people dont get it that that aint the way to get it

it may also help that people dont want to learn because of the high standard that we have these day's

we want everything to be perfect and by so
are soemtimes working a year on a single map
you msut understand that this isnt soemthign you can expect from a beginner
also i see that a lot of beginners stop modeling after a while and for a lot of them their reason are that their maps arent downloaded that much
again liek i said
do it for yourself and not for the amount of downloads
have fun thatsthe msot inportant thing

thats all :P

Gearbox put those textures there for users to understand shaders better in the HEK tutorials. What ever else you use them for must be credited. But is already done once it goes through tool. Creative common rights gives you the right to all the assets you made and it is your choice who to distribute them to. By gearbox putting them in HEK, the assets belong to them, but the way you use them is not responsible by gearbox.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is 100% true. The whole point of this is to have fun. Not to gain a job and become the best 3d or 2d artist in the world. I frankly don't care about ripping. If you want to rip, or screencap. Go ahead. I won't say a thing. I may even support you and help you out. People get up in arms when somethings not 100% perfect now adays. Well you know what, GET OVER IT. People aren't perfect. This is a game. Games are for fun.

screen grabbbing is kinda like a cheap imitation fo ripping

and what i'm telling is not jsut bout advanced bo

it's 1 of the main reasons the community is slwly gettign smaller

The construct floor tile is squished inward a little, this makes it look funny when tiled. Most of the environmental textures look bad though, they're so obviously mirrored and makes it look bad in the center.

Also, this has got to be one of the stupidest arguments I have ever seen here. these are textures taken from a Bungie game, to be used in another Bungie game. Does any one realize that EVERY texture from halo 2 is uploaded to this site? And people use them ALL the time. Yet nobody complains that the textures aren't custom made and that they're ripped from another game.

Last I checked, hes not taking credit for making these, just editing them to be tiled. Go away Dee, please.

Halo CE is not a bungie game. People using textures from other games or other people is a sign of lazyness to learn and texture.

Shut up your wrong.

ur all wrong

So what, Hes lazy. Get over it. At least he has contributed something to the community now.

^This.

This is not a bloody artists forum, neither is it a 3d modeling forum, its for modding a game for fun.

modding is both....

not true.

and it still does not change the point people come here for fun mostly and not to get their grammer corrected or to have others tell them how they should be having fun.

Soo Dee, you're using textures from Halo 3 beta on your Spartan and you're not lazy?

ROFL owned

Rofl fail. I dont use them in halo CE. I make renders so I can recreate halo 3's shader system in 3ds max so I can use them on the props I model.

Does it matter what you are using the textures for? It would still be considered "lazy" if we were to use the same rules you applied to Advancebo; regardless of what purpose you have for your spartan.
